“Don’t think that just because you’re getting married you’re suddenly better than us. You’re a bastard child, born out of wedlock, and a shame to our family name. You’re going to marry the lord of some sad little nowhere plot of land and live out the rest of your days in the obscurity we’ve prepared you for.”

green i’ll kill you

“Under no circumstances are you to ever lay eyes on me.”

green huh 😀😀

“The ritual we performed in the wood last night was to draw out the ancient power of the lost royal family of Aviness from the last living heir.”

green watch katia be the lost last heir

“Sire, true king, permission to speak freely?” Shaye has perched herself on the top of a rock we’re passing by. She’s been close enough to overhear the whole conversation. “Granted,” he growls. “You’re being an ass.” Shaye smirks. “That is all.”

BIEGE LOLLL SHES GROWING ON ME

As I twist, though, I notice the low-cut back exposes the upper edge of the gnarled scars that stretch between my shoulder blades.

green i’m starting to think she’s fae

I imagine him staring at my mouth as I spoke, blindfolded. The thought nearly has me squirming in his arms.

PINK LIKE MARIA SAID MISSED OPPORTUNITY

“Your thoughts are heavy,” Davien interrupts my contemplations. “What?” “Your shoulders hunch slightly when you’re thinking about something sad.” He runs his finger along the ridge of my shoulder from my neck to the edge, where it hovers.

PINK WE LOVE A MAN WHO OBSERVES

“Even though none of this is happening how I intended, I can’t shake the feeling that you’re meant to be here, with me, while I do this.” He finishes his sweep of the city and his attention lands on me.

pink BARK

“Anything.” He lifts a hand, cupping my face and dragging his thumb lazily along my lower lip. “As long as I can watch your lips.”

BURGUNDY MY GOOD SIR HELLO?

“I imagined making you mine as a man should make his wife. I ached to take you to my bed and have you until you screamed my name and your throat was raw. Until my body was the only thing you knew or wanted.”

burgundy OH HE WANTED THAT COOKIE

“Let yourself go; give yourself to me.”

fucking burgundy

“Leave him be.” Giles sighs over the clanking of cooking tools. “He can feel what he wants for our human friend; I rather like her.”

PINK I LOVE GILES SM

“I do,” Davien says.

PINK AHHHH FINALLY IVE BEEN TRYNA CATCH YOU BOYS ALL DAY

“Good morning.” His voice is husky from the night.

BURGUNDY AHHH STFUUUUU HUSKY MORNING VOICE FUCK

“It’s no problem.” I make my escape as fast as I did last night. I can’t look at Davien when he’s only half-dressed.

BIEGE LOLLLL SHES SO REAL

“No…” I shake my head. “You are not my king. You are the Fae King. And I am clearly nothing but a lowly human vessel housing your magic. So fine, we ride, Your Majesty. But if there is blood today then know it is on your hands.”

burgundy fuck yeah cause he really pissing me tf off

“The last heir of the direct bloodline would have been a woman.”

yellow watch her mother be one of those queens L oL

“There’s no reason for cruelty, no excuse.” He shakes his head and kisses my hair. I’ve never felt more protected than in this moment and it only makes me cry harder. “But I swear to you, Katria, with all I am and all I will be…as long as I draw breath, I will never let them, or anyone, hurt you again. You will never have to go back to that house. And should you ever wish to, because you feel that confronting them in the cruelty they have wrought will bring you some peace, I swear I will stand by your side if you need me.”

PINK HE IS SO SWEET WTF

“I want you to kiss me all over until there is not a part of my body that you don’t know. I want you to explore me with your tongue and fingers. I want you to make me yours as a man should make his wife. I want you to go slow until I am breathless and begging, and then I want you to go hard. I want to shatter together and fall like the silvery arcs of shooting stars as we descend from heaven of our making.”

idek what to categorize this so idk about yall but there is just something so irrevocably embarrassing when im reading a woman dictate to a man what she wants done to her 💀💀💀💀💀

Even after the fall, I never became afraid of heights. They always felt natural.

yellow another hint…

“For even trying to touch her, I condemn you to death,” Davien snarls.

burgundy yes hottie

“Davien Aviness—except he’s not really, is he? He wasn’t born with that name. He’s stealing the power of the old kings just as much as I would be. There’s not a drop of Aviness blood in him. That crown won’t heed him any more than it heeded me.”

YELLOW I KNEW IT

“All hail, Queen Katria, true blood heir to the fae throne, last of the Aviness bloodline,” Davien intones and the hall echoes. He gives me a small smile, love glittering in his brilliant eyes. “Long may you reign.”

biege that’s CRAZY work but i mean.. it was kinda obvious
